Hey everyone:
first post ever here on IC! yaaaay!!!
Have grown outdoors since 1981, and have recently started up indoors by setting up a drip system in the backyard outdoor shed.
My question is this:
I have a 25 gallon reservoir, using Dutch Master nutrients, running at a maximum EC of 2.10 (1st week of flower right now)
As the water level drops the EC goes higher (duh) but when I add more water to bring the level back up to 25 gallons the EC drops (OK another duh)
The EC never matches the original 2.1 figure after adding new water and I am wondering how all of you indoor growers out there handle this problem:
Do I add more Dutch Master to bring the EC back up to 2.10 each and every time I see that the EC drops below 2.10?
Do I wait and add more fertz at certain intervals (say every week) to keep the EC at 2.10?
Or, as I add more water do I just let the EC drop and the nutrients "run out" until it is time to change the entire 25 gallons ( I change the entire reservoir out when I have added another 25 gallons back to it)
Thank you in advance for your help! :smile:
